The very latest wine from Cantine Menhir, and not just any red wine, made from the rediscovered indigenous grape variety Susumaniello. This grape had long been unavailable in Puglia until a small patch of this sunny grape was discovered. All Italians in Puglia were delighted with the discovery, and it proved a golden opportunity, as Susumaniello red wines are full-bodied and very smooth. Cantine Menhir has a vineyard in a truly unique location filled with these golden bunches, enjoying ample sunshine and cool sea breezes. This creates a perfect climate for a red wine with great finesse, something Luca Maroni also noted, and included this wine in the yearbook of the best Italian wines.

Completely hand-harvested for this Pietra Susumaniello

The Susumaniello grapes for this Pietra are hand-harvested and rigorously selected to ensure only the finest bunches are pressed. The wine has developed a warm heart, and that's reflected in the aroma, which reveals abundant red berries, blueberries, toffee, and spices like black pepper and coriander. The palate of this red Pietra is enchanting, a true Italian gift with a round and smooth flavor. Beautiful notes of ripe black fruit, a touch of coffee grounds, toffee, currants, and a hint of sweet spices like cinnamon. What a hero of a wine, and we're thrilled that the Susumaniello grape has been rediscovered.
